Establishing native plants on your property is kinda complicated! We'd like to help. Join us for a full-day workshop (with a potluck/lunch break) so we can walk you through some helpful approaches. We will cover topics such as how to prep your site for seeds, how to use iNaturalist to identify native plants on your property, how to collect seeds and develop seed mixes for your site plus more!

We'll follow up with more detailed driving directions & instructions a few days before the event/after you register.

Join us at the Selberg Institute for a screening of this fantastic new documentary.  Filmed over four seasons, the film explores the people working to increase the supply of native seeds to meet the growing demand for restoration, weaving together footage of seed collectors, farmers, researchers, and land managers. Viewers will see the staggering scale of damage to vast landscapes and meet tenacious people who are finding creative, scrappy solutions to restore ecosystems.

Attendance is free but we encourage donations to support the work of The Understory Initiative and Rogue Native Plant Partnership. Donations are accepted either through this platform or at the door.

Do you have native seed lots you are unsure how to properly clean? Want some time to hone your clipper skills? Do you need a productive way to expel your post-election frustrations by pounding on seed?

Our seed cleaning facility is located within the Sampson Creek Preserve barn. It is located on Hwy 66 a few miles past Emigrant Lake.

We will start with introductions of everyone in attendance and then Kathryn will provide one-on-one help with your seed lots. If you don't have seed of your own we have plenty we need help cleaning! During the shop time we will also have a few ecologists available to answer your plant-related questions.

Join our Private Lands restoration ecologists for a day of planting and seeding at a beautiful property above Talent, OR. This property has previously undergone prescribed burning and is ready for some native plants! This is a great opportunity to learn about the follow-up to a prescribed burn, seeding strategies, and selecting the right species for your site.

Please note: This property is steep. Restrooms will not be available on site. Please bring a lunch, plenty of water and prepare to stay for the entire event as we will be carpooling/caravaning to and from. Capacity is limited; sign up early!
